Korra Moving from 7pm EST to 8:30pm EST, still Friday and on Nick + Peacekeepers Clip

I know there has been a lot of craziness going on the past few days with tv guides saying that Nicktoons will be airing Book 2 episodes before Nick. A lot of that has been confirmed to be a scheduling error, though we will see what actually happens. The show is staying on Nickelodeon.

Schedule change

One thing we do now now thanks to Nick on twitter is that Korra is moving from 6pm Central/7pm Eastern to 7:30pm Central/8:30 Eastern. So 1 and a half hours later than has been usual. Their tweet does not say when the change takes effect, but I would assume that that means this weeks episode “Peacekeepers” will be at this new time.

As for the reason behind the change I assume it is to help increase the ratings, a lot of fans have been freaking out and calling Book 2 a flop because of it’s ratings for K203 (2.19 million), that is still pretty high and especially for Friday nights which is much more competitive than Saturday Mornings. I felt that 6pm/7pm Eastern was just a tad too early to maximise viewership, so the later time I think will really help out giving people that extra time to come home from work or whatever.

Good I can still watch it! (: and also I was wondering about Meelos lemur, and his name. I see it all over Tumblr spelled differently and im pretty sure its spelled Poki, you know the whole 4 letter word pet names? Naga Appa Momo.. im just guessing, because i dont have the Art Book for Book 2 yet to confirm it. (:

I am worried about time jumps. I always am. it can be the kiss of death. being that this is Friday night…in some parts of the country that is football night and some of the fans maybe in the band or on teams that have to be away from the TV.

But I hope that it will do well. I will be missing the next two weeks because of the change but i have the iTunes season pass so i will get it at midnight

Ugh! Why does this have to air opposite Predicons Rising on The Hub? I was all happy looking forward to being able to watch the my two favorite TV shows on the same night, especially when the Transformers Prime one is literally the series finale and now this. Stupid Nickelodeon, quit messing with the time slot! I wonder if this time change is going to screw up anything for my friend who watches Korra on west coast US time. I’ll have to let her know about the change. I’ll probably have to catch the rerun of Korra now (or off On Demand), since I’m not sure Predicons Rising will rerun. This really sucks!

It is? Well then, I guess that’s good news, so I can watch Korra after all. Yay! I still home my friend on the west coast can watch Korra though, she’s busy and her schedule gets a little tricky, especially with such short notice. She’s tried watching the season 2 premiere off Nick.com but the buffering/load time was insanely slow.

I am glad the next two-parter will air on the same night, can’t wait to find out the origin of the Avatar.

Wait, where is Preds Rising up online? Just checked the Hub Network website and it’s not there? Sorry to be a bother. And if all else fails I do have the DVD pre-ordered so I think I just watch Korra first anyway.

Thanks. I think I’ll just wait for it normally if it’s not official yet. And my friend got stuff straightened out for Korra’s new time so everything is good. Yay! Looks like Korra will be airing at 8:30 pacific time as well. Season 2 has been even better than season 1 so far. Can’t wait to see what happens on Korra next.
